Our new eBay Game Sniper has been very popular with users, but we always want to make improvements. The most requested feature users asked for was the ability to filter by console.
A Nintendo collector doesn't need to know about a great deal on a PC game.

Filtering results by console is now live.

Click the link next to 'Console Filter'. It defaults to 'All' for all consoles.

This will bring up a dialog box asking you to select the consoles you are interested in.

Clicking a heading like 'Nintendo' or 'Sega' will select all consoles underneath it.

When done click 'Ok'.

The Console Filter will now show you which consoles you have selected. Only deals for those consoles will appear on your screen.

Need a percentage off filter or money off filter---10-20-20% or $5-10-15-20-25 etc to be useful....$5.00 off a 50.00 game is not very useful..many people here will need 25% or more off to be worthwhile

This tool is evolving very nicely and the filtering is a great tweak. I have snagged a few titles now with this tool now that I have streamlined my purchasing technique. One small addition that might be useful is having an audio cue when a new item pops up in the snipe box. I may have my computer on all the time but I may not be looking at it when I get a desktop notification. This option could be turned off of course because I'm sure it would annoy some folks
